The bill establishes a temporary state commission, named the New York State Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Automation Commission, tasked with studying and investigating the regulation of these technologies. The commission will explore various issues, including current laws, comparative state policies, liability concerns, and the impact on employment and confidentiality. Members will be appointed by various state leaders and will serve without compensation, although they will be reimbursed for necessary expenses. The commission is required to issue a final report before its expiration on December 31, 2024, detailing its findings and recommendations. This initiative reflects a growing recognition of the need for regulatory frameworks in rapidly evolving technological landscapes. The bill does not specify penalties for non-compliance, as it primarily focuses on the establishment of the commission and its study.
